Controls and Connectivity: iPhone 14

It still keeps the traditional and much-loved control layout that Apple users have grown accustomed to over time on the iPhone 14. Over at the left side are the volume buttons, ring/silent switch and in most regions a SIM tray (U.S. variants use eSIM only). On the right side you’ll find a power button, from which there’s no escape route but by pressing-and-holding to lock the device, call up Siri, or initiate sleeping.

iPhone 14 has a Lightning port on the bottom for charging and data transfer accompanied by the speaker grille and microphone. While USB-C isn’t even there on the standard models, Lightning is supported with a lot of Apple accessories.

For wireless connectivity, the iPhone 14 offers:

5G (Sub‑6 GHz and mmWave in select regions)
Wi‑Fi 6 for fast and stable internet connections
Bluetooth 5.3 for efficient pairing with accessories
NFC for Apple Pay and compatible devices
Ultra Wideband (UWB) for precise AirTag tracking and device awareness

One notable inclusion is Emergency SOS via satellite, meaning you can get through to emergency services even without cellular signal-so useful if off the grid somewhere. Built-in technologies such as sensors and microphones allow Crash Detection to be activated in the event of a car crash so that emergency responders are notified immediately.

In short, you get great controls and performance for present-day mobile living.
